ZeroXOF Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Read more at Eurogamer.net:http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-03-23-driveclub-developer-set-to-lose-55-staff-sources-say Quote from the article: "Evolution Studios, the developer of PlayStation 4-exclusive racing game DriveClub, is set to lose 55 staff, sources familiar with the matter have told Eurogamer.Two independent sources close to the studio mentioned the 55 figure to Eurogamer after the cuts were announced to staff at the Runcorn-based developer last Friday, 20th March. That's roughly half of the studio, sources say, with the redundancies affecting permanent staff. One source indicated some of the 55 may be retained as contractors, but that's up in the air at this point." I'm kinda conflicted about this news. It's sad but they knew if they mess about with the consumer, stuff like this would happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Weight Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I think we can forget about the driveclub ps+ edition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daftprophet Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I think we can forget about the driveclub ps+ edition I guess we should forget about driveclub altogether now. It was a game that I wanted, but didn't pick up due to bugs and stuff...now, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroXOF Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 I think we can forget about the driveclub ps+ edition I think the other half are working on it. That said, I thought DC broke 1 mil sales? These were the clear problems: 1.Delaying it. 2.Put the release date near Forza Horizon 2. 3.PS version could have probably killed their sales (I heard that one could obtain the platinum without the full retail version, who thought that would be a good idea?) 4.We wanted a new Motor-storm. 5.Driving games aren't special as they were before. 6. Gameplay was bad but the graphics were too awesome I need to think of a new word to call it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwinambele Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 they just should give up on ps+ version and give full in few months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroXOF Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) they just should give up on ps+ version and give full in few months That would be financial suicide, I hear that games take at least 1 year to gain a massive part of their sales before they look at them as successful. If they released a full version in a few months, they may lose out on any remaining profits to be made. Edited March 23, 2015 by BearShark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beyondthegrave07 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I feel bad for them. It's not like they wanted this game to fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittens Are Awesome Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I wonder if this will effect Motorstorm Apocalypse servers? The last ps3 update knocked out the servers. Luckily, Evo got them back up. If it happens again, i bet they stay down for good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuinlanLJ Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Sad, it isn't as bad a game as some portray it to be. They clearly have a lot of talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Ookami Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Hopefully they kicked those who didn't know how to code normal AI... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuinlanLJ Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Oh yes, the AI is a total douche in Driveclub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
